Foxy if you are to gullible to expect anything then do not ask for an answer to a dumb question.

This is from the people in the electorate and what do they expect.

It is quite obvious that you expect nothing in return for your obedience.

I have had people tell me it is rude not to reply to the people who write to their members,
if you wish to play stupid that is ok.
You will get what you ask for, and that is my wrath.
One would have to also ask, is this the standard approach from political party's.
Instead of discussion to see what you actually think of this situation you prefer argument.

Since you expect nothing, you have nothing to complain about here or anywhere else on this site.

Tapp, are you really running as an independent in the coming election?
If so, you seem a bit naive.

Why should Greg Combet, a member for the Labor party, answer letters from you, an independent, if he didn't want to?

Obviously, he or his staff did not feel the need to answer you.
Maybe it was something you said in the letter(s), or the way you said it?

In any case, there is no need to be rude to Foxy for asking a very reasonable question about what you stand for as an independent in the coming election.

Or is that your usual subtle method of communication with others?
My way or the highway maybe?

Stewart, he no longer has the rights to the Australian Peoples Party has not stated he is running.
He however is not talking about Joe average here.
He indeed has been told his letters will no longer be read,but we all have Friends and some ones are sending off letters in the style of? you guess.
Greg however has been a top notch member available at all hours to all, until he sees some are unable to put a case that has merit.
Some haunt politicians, not asking for help or advice but trying to direct policy's that voters did not share during the election campaign.
I value Greg's input in to this government he is a rising star, his electorate Wil return him as long as he wants it to.

I expect them to represent the interests of the electorate they represent and accept that which ever party they belong to will require certain levels of loyalty on the floor.
I do not expect them to pander to individuals that just want to consume their time with political rubbish. If you have a real problem the electoral office of your local member will chase it up for you and get what answer they can. If they don't change your vote.

The following letter was sent to all the candidates a week ago - so far no answers at all
We are a group of Senior Citizens who are very concerned by the failure of every attempt so far at providing satisfactory “End of Life” laws for Australia. We all share a belief that we have the right to be able to determine for ourselves when and how our lives should draw to a close.
Are you aware that there are at least four countries and four U.S. states that have managed to approve laws which appear to work very satisfactorily. These laws have proved to be both operationally successful and popular with the electorates and should provide a very good basic framework for those elected to govern the country to work on.
They are operationally successful in that they do exactly what they set out to do without causing extraneous problems. The argument that “this is the first step on the slippery slope” would seem to be an illusion for those countries. There is one unfortunate anomaly, the responsibility of (and directed by) religious extremism, which manifests itself in “suicide bombers”. But the presence (or absence) of proper “End of Life” laws has no bearing at all on this aspect.
We know that, in principal, these laws are very popular as it is well established that around 75-80% of voters have expressed appreciation and support. There is a small, but noisy group mainly religious, that are antagonistic. However it is also something that should receive your support financially, as if anything it saves money as opposed to requiring any expenditure.
We would be grateful if you would confirm that, if elected, your will vote FOR any “End of Life” legislation that is put forward in the next parliament. Please confirm that you will do this for a Private Members Bill, even if it is your party may not allow a “free” vote as it should be. Regrettably in the past some party leaders have exhibited tendencies to allow religious prejudices to obscure political realities. .
